Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a large bowl, combine the Kobe beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently to combine without overworking the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or the skillet to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until they reach your desired doneness.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the patties are cooking, wash and dry the lettuce. Slice the tomato into thick rounds.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger buns lightly if desired. On the bottom half of each bun, place a patty, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, and a tablespoon of house sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
